Mzoli's[note 1] was a butchery in Gugulethu, a township on the outskirts of Cape Town, South Africa.[4] Since Mzoli's opened in early 2003, the restaurant had become a popular gathering spot for Cape Town residents and a tourist attraction.[5] Amongst Gugulethu's residents, Mzoli's Place has a reputation for public drunkenness and disrespect for the local community.[6] Mzoli's is named after the founder and owner, Mzoli Ngcawuzele.[7] The restaurant closed indefinitely in May 2021 partly due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.[8]
